 glitter-graphics.com I'm Back....Not sure if anyone missed me, but I've been gone about a month now. Don't want to bore you with the details but it got really hectic and I just didn't feel like blogging. I also didn't feel like I had anything to say. Has anyone else ever been there?We had a lot of chaos around us on both sides of the family. Also, we were trying to get our finances in shape so we can possibly pay off our debt sooner. So now things have calmed down and I can get back to blogging. Garden Update: We already planted much of the fall garden, although we have a stray cat that likes to dig things up. In the month of September we mainly picked watermelons and guavas. Made some guava jelly and bread for the freezer. And we have one more bunch of bananas that looks like it will ripen. Also, we are anticipating the ripening of our persimmons any day. They're usually ready about the end of October. Oh, and my sister-in-law gave me a arbol chili plant that is doing well. She had several and picks so many chili peppers. She also gave me her recipe for homemade hot sauce, green or red - I'll try and post it in the next few days. Homestead Update: The one thing that strikes me and makes me really know we are homesteading is when I look into our pantry. While we use to have mainly canned food from the grocery store, now we have canning jars with all kinds of pickled and preserved items in them. Its a pretty satisfying visual. Crafting: I had to take a break from crocheting in September but I'm now planning a few projects that I want to finish before Christmas. Well, I guess thats about all for now. To be honest, we didn't really focus on our homestead plan in September, as I mentioned we had some family issues to deal with - not directly us, but some close family were going through some rough times. So we just kept up on the daily chores. Hopefully now we can focus some more. God Bless Sandra 02:09 - Friday, October 10, 2008 - post comment
